The classic model of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is rooted in the overexpression of
neurohormonal molecules. To complement this paradigm, increasing evidence indicates …

Despite considerable improvement in the management of heart failure (HF), unsustainable
levels of morbidity and mortality coupled with an increasing economic and social burden …

Purpose We hypothesized that a radiomics approach could be employed to classify children
with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) on sella magnetic …

The neuro-hormonal model has radically changed our understanding of chronic heart failure
(CHF) pathophysiology and represented the theoretic background for the implementation of …

Hormonal abnormalities are quite common in chronic heart failure (CHF). The most studied
hormonal axis in CHF is the impairment of Growth Hormone (GH)/Insulin Growth Factor-1 …

To date, the mainstay of heart failure (HF) treatment is considered the counteraction of
neurohormonal overactivation. 1 Indeed, according to the namesake pathophysiological …

Background Most studies have indicated that peripheral insulin-like growth levels factor-1
(IGF-1) is valuable in diagnosing heart failure, although the results have been inconsistent …

Objectives: Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a major problem among children with short
stature. In this study, the role of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in defining the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DWI with conventional single-shot EPI of the pituitary
gland is hampered by strong susceptibility artifacts. Our purpose was to evaluate the …

Background In anterior pituitary deficiency, patients with non visible pituitary stalk have more
often multiple deficiencies and persistent deficiency than patients with visible pituitary stalk …
